! Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe operation, installation and maintenance of the appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to any new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

! Keep all packaging material out of the reach of

children. It may present a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

! The appliance must be installed by a qualified

professional in accordance with the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

Built-in appliance

Use a suitable cabinet to ensure that the appliance functions properly.

• The supporting surface must be heat-resistant up to a temperature of approximately 100°C.

• If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the oven must be equipped with a forced ventilation cooling system.

• Avoid installing the hob above a dishwasher: if this cannot be avoided, place a waterproof separation device between the two appliances.

• Depending on the hob you want to install, the cabinet must have the following dimensions (see  gure):

Ventilation

To allow adequate ventilation and to avoid overheating of the surrounding surfaces the hob should be positioned as follows:

• At a minimum distance of 40 mm from the back panel.

• So that a minimum distance of 20 mm is maintained between the installation cavity and the cabinet underneath.

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the edge of the hob.

Fixing

The appliance must be installed on a perfectly level

supporting surface. Any deformities caused by improper fixing could affect the features and operation of the hob.

The thickness of the supporting surface

into account when choosing

the length of the screws for

should be taken

the fixing hooks:

• 30 mm thick: 17.5 mm screws

• 40 mm thick: 7.5 mm screws

Fix the hob as follows:

1. Use short flat-bottomed screws to fix the 4 alignment springs in the holes provided at the central point of each side of the hob.

2. Place the hob in the cavity, make sure it is in a central position and push down on the whole perimeter until the hob is stuck to the supporting surface.

3. For hobs with raised sides: After inserting the hob into its cavity, insert the 4 fixing hooks (each has its own pin) into the lower edges of the hob, using the long pointed screws to fix them in place, until the glass is stuck to the supporting surface.

! The screws for the alignment springs must remain

accessible.

! In order to adhere to safety standards, the appliance

must not come into contact with electrical parts once it has been installed.

! All parts which ensure the safe operation of the

appliance must not be removable without the aid of a tool.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the appliance itself.

• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power

supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains

If the appliance is being connected directly to the electricity mains an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical

connection has been made and that it is fully compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced

by authorised technicians only.

! The manufacturer declines any liability should

these safety measures not be observed.

! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any reason. Its removal or replacement will void the warranty and the CE marking. INDESIT does not assume liability for accidents or damage arising from replacement/removal of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only be accepted when carried out by personnel authorised by INDESIT and using an original spare part.

Start-up and use

! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of

grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the

electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on.

! If the - or + button is pressed for an extended

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for approximately one second.

Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed, depending on the appliance model: halogen and radiant elements. Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the halogen lamps they contain. They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to see the power level instantly. Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or reheated dishes.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone.

Control panel lock

When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the oven controls in order to avoid accidental changes being made to the settings (by children, during

cleaning, etc.). Press the panel: the indicator light above the button will switch on. To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you

must switch off this function. Press the few moments, the indicator light will switch off and the lock function will be removed.

button for a

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.

• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.
